Landlords are operating in one of the most challenging rental markets for years.
With ongoing changes to rental legislation, increased scrutiny around possession processes, and growing pressure on landlords to manage tenancies professionally, protecting rental income is no longer something to think about after a problem occurs. It is something every landlord should be considering before the next tenancy begins.
That is why NetRent Insurance Services is pleased to launch our brand new Rent Guarantee and Legal Protection product — now available as a simple quote and buy online option.
This new product has been designed to give landlords fast, accessible protection against two of the biggest risks in residential letting: unpaid rent and the legal costs that can arise when things go wrong.

A market-leading online solution for landlords
We know landlords want protection that is straightforward, reliable, and easy to arrange.
Our new Rent Guarantee and Legal Protection product allows landlords to obtain a quote and purchase cover online, making it easier than ever to put protection in place without unnecessary delay.
The product is ideal for landlords who want the convenience of an online quote and buy journey, while still knowing that expert help is available when circumstances are more complex.
For many landlords, the online process will provide a quick and efficient route to cover. But where a landlord’s situation requires a more tailored conversation, the usual team at Clear remains available to talk things through and provide guidance.
That combination is what makes this launch so important: landlords can access a modern online insurance solution, while still having the reassurance of speaking to experienced people when they need to.
Why rent guarantee and legal protection matters now
Rental income is often central to a landlord’s financial planning. It may be used to pay a mortgage, maintain the property, cover service charges, fund retirement income, or support future investment.
When rent stops being paid, the impact can be immediate.
A missed payment can quickly become two or three months of arrears. At the same time, resolving tenancy issues can involve formal notices, legal advice, possession proceedings, and court-related costs. Even where a landlord has acted correctly, the process can be stressful, time-consuming, and expensive.
The legislative changes being introduced this year only increase the need for landlords to be prepared. As the rules around renting continue to evolve, landlords must ensure they are protecting both their income and their position if a tenancy becomes problematic.
Rent Guarantee and Legal Protection cover is not just about insurance. It is about confidence.
It helps landlords continue to manage their property with greater certainty, knowing they have support in place if rent arrears or legal disputes arise.
The risks landlords cannot afford to ignore
Many landlords assume that a good tenant history means rent arrears are unlikely. But even reliable tenants can face sudden changes in circumstances.
Job loss, illness, relationship breakdown, financial pressure, or wider economic challenges can all affect a tenant’s ability to pay rent. When that happens, landlords may find themselves exposed at exactly the point they most need stability.
Legal protection is equally important.
As tenancy law becomes more complex, landlords need to be confident that they can access the right support if they need to recover possession, pursue arrears, or deal with a dispute.
Without the right protection, landlords may be left dealing with unpaid rent and legal costs at the same time.
That is why this cover has become so important. It helps landlords protect against the financial shock of rent arrears while also providing support for the legal processes that may follow.
Protection that fits the modern landlord
This new online offer has been created for today’s landlord: fast, clear, practical, and accessible.
Whether you own one property or a growing portfolio, Rent Guarantee and Legal Protection can provide valuable reassurance at a time when the rental sector is changing quickly.
The ability to quote and buy online means landlords can take action immediately. There is no need to wait until a problem occurs. The best time to protect your rental income is before the tenancy risk becomes real.
Speak to the team when you need to
While the new product is available online, we recognise that not every landlord’s circumstances are the same.
Some landlords may have questions about eligibility, tenant referencing, existing tenancies, portfolio arrangements, or more unusual rental situations. In those cases, the team at Clear is available to help.
This gives landlords the best of both worlds: the convenience of buying online, with the reassurance of being able to speak to the usual team when individual circumstances require a conversation.
